Solas

SOLAS (previously known as FAS) is the government body which is in charge of further education in Ireland. If you are leaving school, unemployed or simply looking for a job you can choose from a wide range of training courses provided by SOLAS and Education Training Boards.

Courses available include anything from short courses, to specific skills training relevant to particular industries such as construction. Some of the courses provide a training allowance, as well as a contribution towards travel and meals. Eligibility conditions and training allowances vary widely between courses so you should check the details of each course carefully.
